Abstract

Our start points are some statistical evidences from Argentina National Enquiry on Disability (2003), Bourdieu theoretical framework and the histories of life of two males with disability
motorboat; from these, our proposal is a conception of disability as a domination situation determined by the structre of class paths and adquired habitus. Main reference is the body, as evidence of how predispositions conditioning disabled people experience, coming from structural standards imposition, cultural traditions and scientific expertise, not only are interiorized but also embodied. This embodied habitus is configured in the Health Field (an extention of Medical Field), and constrictions overcoming possibilities, constrictions which
imply domination, margination and subordination, are based on the translation throw Policy and Knowledge Fields.
